Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang, both dressed in Confucian shirts, came out of the inn where they lived step by step, and walked slowly on the streets of Yucheng.

Wu Haogu woke up Ximen Qing by pushing the door, so he invited him to have breakfast together, and Ximen Qing told Wu Dalang that there was a very good shop selling steamed buns in Yucheng. So the two made an appointment to go out and find a place to eat steamed buns.

In addition, Wu Dalang also figured out that it was Ximen Qing who cured himself, not Ximen Qing, and also knew that Ximen Qing's trade name was "Yanping".

Ximen Qing was still playing with a Japanese knife in his hand, which was the Japanese knife that Wu Haogu got from his father Wu Chengzhi before leaving Kaifeng Mansion.

"This knife is somewhat similar to several Tang knives in my family's collection, so I guess it was made by a Japanese knife maker based on Tang knives, right?"

As he spoke, Ximen Qing pulled out half of the Japanese knife, but found that the knife was rusty.

"Ahh Wu Haogu said with some embarrassment.

"How long has it been since you sharpened this knife?" Ximen Qing returned the blade of the knife to the scabbard.

"I don't know," said Wu Haogu, "it seems that my father has not been grinding since he bought it from the Daxiangguoji market...... When this treasure knife arrived at my house, it was really unlucky, it was all rusted like this, and I am afraid that it will not be able to go to the battlefield again. ”

"The knife can be sharpened if it is rusty," Ximen Qing said with a smile, "but when people are rotten, they really can't go to the battlefield." ”

That's a lot of learning!

Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, now the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is mortal, oh, not only is it mortal, but this sword and armor does not seem to be very new.

Ximen Qing didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed a few times: "Speaking of human decay, does Da Lang know who is the most immortal today?" ”

Who is the most immortal? Wu Haogu thought to himself: Of course, Zhao Ji, the king of the Great Song Dynasty, who will soon become the official of the Great Song Dynasty, is the most immortal.

"I don't know." Wu Haogu naturally can't tell the truth, but he doesn't know what he does.

"It's a Khitan!" Ximen Qing's words made Wu Haogu very puzzled.

He knows that the Khitan people are rotten, and there is not much left of the country of Daliao!

But these words came from the hands of Ximen Qing, a Langzhong and crude drug merchant...... Oh, by the way, what kind of "Youzhou Daqi" is his family, don't you still forget your homeland, thinking that one day you can recover Yanyun?

It's just that this day really came, but it was more than 200 years later that Zhu Ming fell.

"Da Lang seems to know about the decay of the Khitans?" Ximen Qing found that Wu Haogu's expression was calm, and asked with a smile.

"Liao is abolished, Jin ......" Wu Haogu blurted out that later generations summarized the rise and fall of Liao and Jin.

However, in the second half, he only said "gold", and it stopped. This "gold" has not yet begun!

"What a Liao to release waste!" Ximen Qing stroked his palms and smiled, "I didn't expect Da Lang to have such accurate insights into the inside affairs of the Liao Kingdom. ”

Wu Haogu hurriedly explained: "Where is my opinion, I heard two eminent monks from Wutai Mountain. ”

"The monk of Wutai Mountain?" Ximen Qing asked, "Is that renunciation arhat one of them?" ”

"Quit Arhats...... Brother Xiao Yi saw that painting? Wu Haogu asked.

"I'm fortunate to have a look," Ximenqing said, "The truth of this painting is really something that Qing Ping's life has never seen."

Ignorance...... Can someone ask Lady to make a painting? ”

Wu Haogu nodded and said, "Brother Xiaoyi spoke, so Gu dared to disobey his orders." ”

Ximen Qing smiled: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked to the downtown of Yucheng County. This small county is much inferior to Kaifeng Mansion, but after all, it is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Yingtianfu. There were also two or three thousand families in the city, and counting the passing merchants, there were always 20,000 people living here. Therefore, it is also a bit lively.

"This is it," Ximen Qing pointed to a shop at the crossroads, and said to Wuhao Ancient Road, "That's the one with the old shop of the Sun family." ”

Wu Haogu glanced at it, and saw that a shop with the flag of "Sun Family Old Shop" hanging at the door was already wide open.

A woman wearing a bright red silk apron and rubbing her face with rouge and lead powder is shouting loudly and beckoning customers to buy steamed buns.

Ximen Qing often comes to Yucheng, recognizes this mother-in-law, and asks when she goes up: "Second lady, do you have a seat?" ”

"It's Simon Xiaoyi, please come in." The woman called "Erniang" welcomed Ximen Qing and Wu Haogu in with a smile on her face and asked them to sit at a table by the window.

The table was not very clean and a little greasy, and the "second lady" found a rag out of nowhere, wiped it indiscriminately, and asked Ximen Qingdao: "Do you want a few big meat buns?" ”

Ximen Qing said: "Take two mutton fillings, two vegetarian fillings, and two bowls of porridge."

In addition, send another two or three hundred big meat buns to the Zhangjia Inn to Wu Erlang. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go get it."

got a big deal, and the "second lady" was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and went while laughing. Ximen Qing pointed to her back and said: "The old owner of this Sun family's shop is called Sun Yuan, who was originally a cook in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, and said that he had worked in Wanglou, and he returned to Yucheng because he couldn't afford to buy a house, and opened a bun shop on Cross Slope Street, and the second lady was his daughter, and he recruited a husband named Zhang Qing a few years ago......

This story is familiar!

Cross Slope, Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing, Human Meat Bun...... Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled.

Even "Ximen Qing" and Wu Dalang have become friends, and this Sun Erniang's bun seems to be different from the Water Margin, it can't be filled with human flesh.

Besides, this bun is spread out in the county, how can it be a black shop that kills people?

When a basket of steamed buns (two meat fillings, two vegetarian fillings) and two bowls of hot rice porridge came up, Ximen Qing asked about the destination of Wu Haogu's trip.

"Let's go to Xuzhou first, and make an appointment with someone to see a calligraphy," Wu Haogu said, "and then go to Haizhou." ”

"Haizhou?" Ximenqing said, "My family also has an industry in Haizhou...... It's a great place, full of sails and people. There is also a Yuntai Mountain more than ten miles out of the sea, a hundred miles on Tuesday, it has been the first victory in the East China Sea since ancient times, and it is said that it is Yingzhou, an immortal mountain in the east of the sea. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem to praise and say: The lush cangwu sea is mountainous, and the abbot of Penglai is endless. ”

"Yuntai Mountain ...... on the sea" Wu Haogu heard Ximen Qing say this, and then remembered that the terrain of Haizhou today is different from Lianyungang in later generations.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, Yuntai Mountain in later generations has been connected to the mainland, and is no longer a big island hanging in the open sea, but it is still a famous scenic spot, and it is said that it is still the hometown of Sun Monkey.

"What a No. 1 victory in the East China Sea!" Wu Haogu stroked his palms and smiled, "Brother Xiaoyi, why don't we travel to Yuntai Mountain together." ”

"Okay," Ximen Qing nodded, "It's a word, when Da Lang's business in Xuzhou is over, you and I will accompany you to Yuntai." ”

Hearing Ximen Qing mention the business in Xuzhou, Wu Haogu remembered the business in front of him in front of the "good guy version of Ximen Qing", the big head is in Xuzhou, and he thinks that he is the head snake in Xuzhou. So he inquired: "Brother Xiaoyi, have you heard of Xuzhou Kabuki Ma Panpan?" ”

"Kabuki?" Ximen Qing shook his head and frowned, "I know some Kabuki below, but I don't know that there is a horse looking forward to this person." ”

"I don't know?" Wu Haogu was stunned, "Ma Panpan is the confidante of the former Dongpo monk in Xuzhou, but Brother Xiaoyi doesn't know?" ”

Ximen Qing smiled: "Da Lang doesn't know, I'm just a Langzhong, although I have dealings with Xuzhou Kabuki, but it's also for them to see the disease, and I don't know much about allusions."

If Ma Panpan was Su Dongpo's confidante when he was in Xuzhou, he would have retired a long time ago, how would I know? ”

It turns out that "Ximenqing" is not lustful...... Wu Haogu thought to himself: Such a righteous gentleman is definitely not the prototype of the bad breed Ximenqing who combines ruffians, bullies, profiteers, and prostitutes in "Water Margin" and "Golden Bottle Plum".
